One possability Is Xavier won't be In camp.After Wolverine possibilly aided by eath rogue or Kitty and possibly COlossus break out remaining mutants from prison camp Wolverine takes them to hiding place where Xavier Is there In wheelcahir.From there Is where they attempt to launch their time travel scheme before the sentinels find them.

Yeah, I agree, because nothing sells a dystopian future in an alternate timeline with not repurcussions for future films than everyone daisychaining and holding hands... Maybe the most dramatic scene can be when someone gets a boo boo? Maybe we could see Wolverine growl?

It wasn't the deaths in X3 that made it bad, it was having deaths for deaths sake. It was the attitude that death in and of itself WAS drama and that you didn't need any development around that.

Yes, but if it's a future they're working to AVOID then it WILL be an alternate timeline.

And I'm not saying they have to kill characters off but they can't be afraid of killing a character just because fans like it. Let go of your fandom and look at the wider narrative. Days of Future Past had a lot of significant deaths in it.

Agreed, that image is one of my favourite. As a huge fan it's horrific but ultimately, powerful. They shouldn't shy away from that type of thing.

Also, I think it's very narrow minded to assume that a characters death might mean they aren't done 'justice'. Seeing a beloved X-Men nobly and defiantly go down fighting can be both a spectacular action scene and incredibly moving and true to their character. Try and tell me Cyclops, Storm, Wolvie, Jean, Nightcrawler, Collossus or anyone else wouldn't be capable of self sacrifice to save the future for all mutants or that it would be a disservice and I'll promptly point you towards the nearest comic book shop.

Agreed, though you don't even need to go that far. You can just point to X2. Jean Grey dies in that film, and no one threw a fit. In fact, plenty of Hypsters have listed it as one of their favorite scenes of the trilogy, so why the aversion to similar deaths in Days of Future Past? This isn't The Last Stand, where characters who shouldn't die are given cheap deaths just to "round out" their characters and close out the trilogy. The deaths of Days of Future Past are part of the story and do serve a purpose--or at least a better one, in my opinion. Plus, like Jean Grey in X2, we know there is most likely a possibility of them coming back.

I believe Banshee and Havok will still be X-men and emma Frost will still be among the Brotherhood.Now rather the actors come back or Bryan Singer uses the 11 year gap between films to recast Is an open question.

This I sunlike any previous X-Men film.You have

1:The characters In future plus Sentinles
2:X-Men and Brotherhood In 1973
3:Human Characters In 1973.Nixon and most likely Trask
4:The Time Traveler who bridges first Class and trilogy casts

If you look at all of Bryan Singer's films he doesn't flood screen with characters.He uses characters that fit story.And If you look at his enesemble films some characters get focus and others don't.Remember that as some complain about som enot getting focus yet they still want to flood the screen with characters and want certain characters
get focus.

Dropping a hwole bunch of first Class characters Isn't likely.Sabretooth and Toad were only ones who didn't return for X2 and both almost did.Sabretooth was cut because of decsion to use Deathstrike.WHile Toad was victim of budget.There are still Limitians on who can be used due to not outright ignoring origins and Last Stand and the 1973 setting.

Lol you know, I still remember the first time I saw X3... Xavier had just died, Storm and Wolverine are crying and holding each other (because THAT'S in character for them) and with sad music playing, we see a transition the mansion in a slow fade.... then all of sudden it just cuts to an empty wheelchair. Cue the entire cinema laughing. It was ridiculous then and it's just as absurd now.
